Not all fur-bearing creatures have all of these, and all of them vary in: What lengths and textures they do have naturally, Where on the animal you harvest it (forehead vs butt, etc.), If it was an aquatic mammal (waterproofing oils/dense underfur and fuzz), and What climate it was harvested in. Dubbings can be: Clipped then separated into lengths Blended with all lengths used Blended with just one or more lengths used Blended with other dubbings, Dyed, one color or blended colors, or with flash materials, Waterproofed. And my favorite- dubbings can be: Rope-dubbed, tapered and segmented, Rope-dubbed, fuzzy or clean, Rope-dubbed with hackles, Rope-dubbed on wire thread. Your bear fur/hair can give you lots of looks, depending on you you clip, prepare, and spin-out the dubbing. Notice I didn't mention dubbing tools, loops, wax, etc., because I don't use them.
